Old Topic revisted again but talking Speaker Replacement


Recommended Posts

Finally had it with my speakers on my 06 RSV. They were tolerable up until the last ride where they sounded horrible. Ordered the Rockford Fosgate R14X2 from Crutchfield after much research. Just finished with the install and I will tell you sitting in the driveway with the motor reved they sound way way better then the factory installed Clarions. Taking a few days vacation this week and hoping to hit the road (my 5 day road trip was delayed but that's a whole other story) and I will report back for anyone looking at upgrades. Yes I know they are 4" and limited because of size but something is way better than nothing!!

First test complete. Put 195 miles on and they performed well. Still playing a little bit with the settings for optimal sound (LOL, how many eye rolls did I just get). I chose them because of they were made with polypropylene woofer cone with rubber surround which is exactly what each of the marine speakers started with in their description and they were less expensive then marine speakers. I'm willing to pay more for red wine, rye whiskey, beer and motorcycle oil but went economical on the speakers that had good reviews. Did not treat with water repellent; just letting them go. Also, someone installed them on his KL1100 and was happy with them at least in town.

 

First ride was a success...thanks for checking in!!
